Neville revisits courting his wife through an imaginal state

Waking at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, Neville played with the states of his own past: courting his wife at twenty-nine while his nearly twenty-eight-year-old daughter disapproved of the romance and denied that the young woman was her mother.

    Why Time of day 02:00 retained in source note; hist_date stores the calendar date.
    Reasoning The lecture is certainly dated Friday 1970-05-08 and Neville identifies the vision as occurring Wednesday morning at 2:00, yielding 1970-05-06.
  4. 6 May 1970 stated · probable
    Source derived from the event's own title: "Neville's waking vision on May 6, 1970"
    Reasoning The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1970-05-06 (day precision, parsed as "month day year"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

    Source passage 555473/555475 (lecture nid 2200), 'Wednesday morning, as I woke at 2:00 in the morning' / 'here now it is up to date: it is 1970'
    Reasoning Neville places the vision on a Wednesday morning shortly before this lecture. The lecture's delivery date is certain at 1970-05-08 (a Friday, corroborated both by an internal reference to that day's Hard Hat Riot and independently by the archive page's own chrome byline '5-8-1970'). The Wednesday immediately preceding that Friday is 1970-05-06, matching the corpus's existing title-derived claim exactly; this is a genuinely independent, text-grounded derivation of the same day, not a restatement, so it is added rather than skipped as already-satisfied.

    Reasoning Neville recounts the Wednesday-morning vision from the platform of this lecture, whose delivery date is certain from two independent sources agreeing on 1970-05-08; the told claim inherits that certainty.
